Boole & Babbage customers will benefit from MQSoftware training sessions, onsite expert consulting, and an interactive educational forum on the Boole & Babbage Web site (http://www.boole.com), all designed to assist customers in understanding the issues behind MQ technology.

MQSoftware specializes in consulting, training, and software development for users of MQSeries middleware. Comprised of a team of senior technical and management consultants, MQSoftware is focused exclusively on the implementation and performance of MQSeries message queuing technology.

MQSoftware offers a host of services, including installation of MQSeries on Unix, Windows NT, and OS/2 platforms; operation, performance and security improvements; and implementation across more than 30 platforms and communications protocols. These services are available from consultants directly or through training of IS personnel in customers' organizations.

To complement the available training and consulting services, Boole & Babbage has enhanced its Web site with an educational forum called, "Ask the Experts." Customers can use this forum to ask Boole & Babbage MQ experts and MQSoftware consultants questions about exploiting the benefits of MQSeries in site-specific situations. General news and information related to MQSeries will also be available.
